A striking concert hall in the town centre
Blaibach Concert Hall is shaped like a tilted box and stands in the centre of the new village square. Its architecture adds a distinctive feature to the townscape. The venue is operated by Kulturwald gGmbH, under the direction of Prof. Thomas E. Bauer. Kulturwald gGmbH guarantees around 50 concerts each year, with an international profile. Programme details may change, so check the current listings before making specific concert plans. While the concert hall provides the cultural highlight, further opportunities for active pursuits and observing nature can be found at the Blaibacher See.
Cycling, a circular trail and nature at the Blaibacher See
The Blaibacher See connects directly to the Regental cycle path. If you would like to include cycling in your holiday plans, you can make the lake a specific point of interest. The fish ladder also gives the lake a distinctive natural feature: it enables fish and other aquatic life to ascend past the lake’s dam.
The fish ladder is located on an easily accessible circular trail around the Blaibacher See, which is suitable for observing nature. Well-maintained paths also run around the lake and are suitable for walks and shorter hikes. This provides different options, whether you would like to observe nature or focus on shorter walks. Trail conditions can change seasonally, so check the current situation before setting out.
